A great overview of Bergen with a personable guide! - Martin was a wealth of information and had plenty to share about the city. Additionally, he was able to answer specific questions and give local recommendations. My college-aged daughter and I enjoyed our two hour tour but would have been happy with even a bit more time and walking around to learn even more.
